Hard to tell from it looks, but please take the chance and try, your taste buds will be delighted! This is what i call real mexican food, which just happens to be my favorite food!

A place to pre-order your Christmas Tamales. A small Mexican type grocery with food. I have had reports that their sandwiches are very good. I've only had the tamales.

I stopped in at Celito Lindo for take out. Ordered a taco salad which was fresh and delicious. I like that they include guacamole with the meal. Wait is under 5 minutes.

If you're tired of the American style mexican food and are looking for a more authentic So-Cal style Taqueria -Stop here! This little ladies can hook you up with the real stuff!
It's not a fancy smancy restaurant, it's a re purposed gas satation but, don't let the meager looks fool you, stop in and try the Albondigas soup!
It's right on the 101 in south Brookings near the bridge.

Celito Lindo is in plain sight on the corner of 101 and Oak Street. It used to be a gas station, now it is a mini mart and Mexican grill with mostly take-out. There is a counter with about 4 seats available and 2 small tables. The food is very good! They have specialties through the week including tamales on Wednesday. The cooks make your food on the grill while you watch and utilize lots of fresh vegetables. I highly recommend Celito Lindos, nice if you take with you to the park or beach!
